EKS FEST is a new EXTREME SPORTS and EXPERIMENTAL film festival happening in Kaunas, Lithuania.

Eks Fest is one of the few European film festivals dedicated to these genres - the only one combining them both.

The festival aims to bring films outside the cinema, encourage experimentation and inspire for creativity and freshness!

We hope to build a sustainable and creative community and most importantly we want to have fun with film!

When choosing the films to show we bear in mind the creativity, the experimentation, unusual use of things and form. Think limitless. Go crazy, exceed expectations, push the boundaries of ideas and experiment!

On your mark, get set, ACTION!
